Scone Palace Garden Competion

Soft Landscaping

The plants are now approved and arriving. The poly tunnel is holding back the alpines where necessary and the remaining plants are arriving next week.

Steel Panel

Its been a while since I uploaded any up image or update. Since the middle of May I’ve been full on with the garden competition. 31st May, the Steel panel arrived safely at college for the blacksmiths to put on a frame. Rather than a rusted effect I decided to keep it with the steel look. The result has been effective and striking. Thanks to Juliet Grant for her support and the rest of her team for getting this delivered at the 11th hour!!!.

Garden preparation

The team including Bernice Keagan, Matt Jessop , Grant, Gregor, Colin and Raymond and students, Conor, Stuart and Alex came together to assemble to all the elements of the garden.

Garden Success

So on the 2nd June. I set up early to get the water feature on and the water topped up. Final dead heading and a final water. At 1pm the judges made their decision and gave us the highly commended prize. Woohoo.

Hard Landscaping

The hard landscaping is now in progress and work continues with creating the path, bridge, alpine boxes and water feature. Thanks to one of our sponsors CED Stone for providing the stone for the path and gravel for the alpine planting @CEDStoneGroup.

Garden transformation

This garden was started in the depths of winter and recently finished end of April. It consisted on cutting back the previous years of growth. Remove a few years of weeds, prune back the shrubs, edge the grass and make the garden low maintenance. The grass was adjusted and realigned to remove the acute curves. It goes to show what a couple of hours a week for four months can achieve. Enjoyed the journey with the client and they were happy with the result

The start
Getting into the roots and couch grass
Realigning the grass
Apply everedge and whin stone chips
The finish
